Inspection You should inspect the product for damage, wear, broken or missing parts (e.g.: pins) and all components function before each use. Follow lubrication and storage instructions for optimum product performance. Binding If the product binds while under a load, use equipment with equal or a larger load capacity to lower the load safely to the ground. After un-binding; clean, lubricate and test that equipment is working properly. Rusty components, dirt, or worn parts can be causes of binding Clean and lubri cate the equipment as indicated in the lubrication section. - Test the equipment by lifting without a load. If the binding continues contact Customer Service. Cleaning If the moving parts of the equipment are obstructed, use cleaning solvent or another good de-greaser to clean the equipment. Remove any existing rust, with a penetrating lubricant. Lubrictation This equipment will not operate safely without proper lu brication. Using the equipment without proper lubrication will result in poor performance and damage to the equip - ment. Some parts in this equipment are not self-lubricating, inspect the equipment before use and lubricate when - necessary. After cleaning, lubricate the equipment using a - Use a good Lubricant on all moving parts. - For light duty use lubricate every once a month. - For heavy and constant use lubrication recommended every week. Rust Prevention: - Check ram s and pump plunger s on the power unit assemblies daily for any signs of rust or corrosion. Without a load lift the equipment as high as it goes and look under and behind the lifting points. If signs of rust are visible clean as needed. Grease Fittings - need to be greases and lubricated. How the Jack Operates With release valve closed, an upward stroke of the jack handle draws oil from the reservoir tank into the plunger cavity. Hydraulic pressure holds the valve closed, which keeps the oil in the plunger cavity. A downward stroke of the jack handle releases oil into the cylinder, which forces the ram out. This This raises the saddle. When the ram reaches maximum extension, oil is bypassed back into the reservoir to prevent an over extended ram stroke and possible damage to the jack. Opening the release valve hydraulic pressure on the ram, which results in lowering the saddle. Storing the Jack 1. Lower the Lifting Arm. 2. Store in a dry location, recommended indoors. Note: If the jack is stored outdoors, be sure to lubricate all parts before and after use to ensure the jack stays in good working condition. To Add Jack Oil: 1. Position the jack on level ground and lower the saddle. 2. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the cover plate. 3. Remove the oil plug. 4. Fill the oil case until oil level is just beneath the lower rim 5. Replace oil plug. 6. Perform the Air Purge Procedure. To Replace Jack Oil: 1. Fully open release valve by turning handle counter-clockwise. 2. hole. 3. clear when pouring. 4. Fill just beneath lower rim of hole. Replace oil plug. 5. Perform Air Purge Procedure described below.
